The Seed Collection is a no frills budget Australian seed company that
offers a good range of cheap seeds. Prices start from $1 a packet, in fact most
seed packets are at that price, plus delivery is free if you spend more
than $10.

Front and back photos of two seed packets from The
Seed Collection. While the packaging is simple the
instructions are quite informative.

They also offer a fairly good range including Heirloom, open-pollinated,
non-hybrid and non-GMO seeds.

Their secret to keeping costs down is that they have no shop front, they
only have a website that you can order from directly, they do not supply
to retailers so there is no middlemen. As well the packaging is
very simple, all the seeds come in clear plastic packets with no outer
packaging. But while the packaging is simple the instructions they
come with are more informative than many more prestigious mail order seed
companies.

advantages/disadvantages summary

Advantages

Cheap seeds.

Free delivery if order over $10.

Small number of seeds in each packet suits people with small
gardens who only need a few seeds of each variety.

Seeds are ordered online and the service is prompt.

Disadvantages

Small number of seeds in each packet means you
usually have to buy two packets to get the equivalent of
a standard packet of seeds.

The plastic bags that the seeds come in sometimes
get charged with static electricity making it hard to
get the seeds out.
